Review
This series occurs in Metropolis High, where our Superheroes must maintain their alter-egos, save the world, and get an A+ on the chemistry test. Watching the characters hop back and forth without realizing who the others are is funny. The artwork is very well suited to a younger audience, and I know for a fact that my son and daughter really enjoyed it. So that’s a win for me.
Another surprising factor for me was the story. It is a worthwhile piece and not just a throwaway. Over the 14 issues, we get to experience the different characters and their projects really well, all seen from the perspective of Zatanna. There is also a building underlying threat. The ending even had a nice twist, which I will not spoil here.
Great for young readers and proof to an old reader that I should branch out more and take risks.
